Analysis of John Williams' main theme to The Fury More…

Here's a cue from one of the most famous episodes of the original Twilight Zone, "Eye of the Beholder", broadcast in 1960. Composed by Twilight Zone regular and creepy music maestro, Bernard Herrmann.… More…
This is scene from Star Wars where the sand people rummage through Luke's landspeeder. I got frustrated trying to find the full score on the internet so I've started transcribing cues by ear. I think I've… More…
A cue composed by John Williams for the 1960s t.v. show Time Tunnel. This cue is entitled "To the Tunnel" from the first episode, "Rendezvous with Yesterday." I'm interested in the planing minor triads… More…
